Still rather little is known about long-term impacts of robotic home appliances on people’s daily routines and attitudes and how they evolve over time. We investigate these aspects through a longitudinal ethnographic study with nine households, to which we gave a Roomba cleaning robot. During six months, data is gathered through a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods.human-robot interactiondomestic service robotslongitudinal field studysocial factors in roboticstext::conference output::conference poster not in proceedings
